Clownster Comedy

So, yes, this is another comedy review site (like Chortle… only less professional, exhaustive or well written) but these are just my opinions so hardly deserve gospel status. I have been watching live comedy for around 15 years and I have to say that I 100% admire anyone who has the guts to take to a spot lit stage in front of an unknown crowd armed with just a microphone and their wits. It’s a profession that I know I could not do and for that I doff my tiny bowler hat to them.

Police Cops in Space (2018)

My girlfriend has two things in life that she truly adores (I am neither of those two things) the first is comedy, the second is sci-fi. In a world where attractive women are being called out online for wearing nerd... Continue Reading →

Jessie Cave: Sunrise (2018)

Full disclosure early on, this is going to be a fawning review. It is a joke that this show wasn’t nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award, BUT I do need to get one thing off my chest before we start…... Continue Reading →

Kevin Hart: Irresponsible (2018)

In the midst of writing up all of my Edinburgh Fringe posts I was invited to see Kevin Hart at the O2 Arena. Although I'm not a fan of his movies this is a man whose stand-up has been mentioned... Continue Reading →

Mae Martin: VAULT Festival (WiP 2018)

I realised a while back that there are many reasons not to write a review of a 'Work in progress' show but I hadn't been to this Vault Festival venue before and wanted to share my experience. I had actually... Continue Reading →
